Summary

OLTA benchmarks are purpose-built for structured index products on-chain. Unlike general market indices, they exclude non-investable or controversial tokens (e.g., stablecoins, securities), enforce strict liquidity criteria, and include governance transparency. While inspired by legacy benchmarks, OLTA’s design is adapted to institutional-grade DeFi standards.
